Do you love learning about different parts of the world and new experience? Personally, I like reading about people’s different experiences, especially mixed in with other interesting information. It is something I have been seeing as a lot more common with cookbooks lately, making them far more interesting in my own eyes. Not to say that cookbooks aren’t interesting to leaf through and discover new things, but when recipes come with stories, it is sometimes far more meaningful. My guess is I like it because many of the recipes that are handed down in my family come with their own stories, sometimes from adventure, others from travelling. With how much I love these type of cookbooks, I was excited when I had the opportunity to review a new cookbook that sounded interesting and fun – First We Surf Then We Eat: Recipes From a Lifetime of Surf Travel by Jim Kempton. Once it arrived, I couldn’t wait to start reading through this cookbook.
